...GOLDEN AUTUMN DAY... by Van Morrison


-----------------------................


from 'Back On Top' (1999)

Intro:

F Am, Bbmaj7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Well I [F]heard the bells ringing,
I was [Am]thinking about winning,
In this [Bbmaj7]God forsaken place.

When my [F]confidence was well,
Then I [Am]tripped and I fell,
Right [Bbmaj7]flat on my face.

Now I'm [F]standing erect,
And I [Am]feel like coming back,
And the [Bbmaj7]sun is shining gold.

Put a [F]smile on my face,
Get back [Am]in the human race,
And get [Bbmaj7]on with the show.

Bridge 1:

And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,

Chorus 1:

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[C]

Verse 2:

In the [F]wee midnight hour,
I was [Am]parking my car,
In this [Bbmaj7]dimly lit town.

I was at-[F]tacked by two thugs,
Who [Am]took me for a mug,
And shoved me [Bbmaj7]down on the ground.

And they [F]pulled out a knife,
And I [Am]fought my way up,
As they [Bbmaj7]scarpered from the scene.

Well this is [F]no New York street,
And there's no [Am]Bobby on the beat,
And things ain't [Bbmaj7]just what they seem.

Bridge 2:

And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,

Chorus 2:

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[C]

Solo:

F Am, Bbmaj7 (x4)

C Bbmaj7 (x4)

F Bbmaj7 (x3)
[F] [C]
Verse 3:

Who would [F]think this could happen,
In a [Am]city like this?
Among Blake's [Bbmaj7]green and pleasant hills.

And we [F]must remember,
As we [Am]go through September,
Among these [Bbmaj7]dark satanic mills.

If there's [F]such a thing as justice,
I could [Am]take them out and flog them,
In the [Bbmaj7]nearest green field.

And it [F]might be a lesson,
To the [Am]bleeders of the system,
In this [Bbmaj7]whole society.

Bridge 3:

And I'm [C]taking in,
The Indian [Bbmaj7]Summer,
And I'm [C]soaking it,
Up in my [Bbmaj7]mind.
And I'm pre-[C]tending,
That it's para-[Bbmaj7]dise,

Chorus 3:

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]

[(Bbmaj7)] On a golden Autumn [F]day,[Bbmaj7]
On a golden Autumn [F]day.[Bbmaj7]

Outro:
